So for
today:
During the
day I see or think of something that would make a good blog entry, THEN I
FORGET! Lately I have faced barriers that SHOULD NOT be complicated. Most 14 yr
old kids could smile and touch the right spot or click the right ‘meme’ (what
ever they are now).
I bitch and
gripe all the time LATELY about changes.
I KNOW it is age, but still, that doesn’t solve the problem.
LATELY I have been
trying to get my ducks in a row about the legal end of this house swap. A few months ago I could have went into our
county records and copied ALL I need.
Now I go there and find notes like:
ADDRESS
CHANGED for REGISTER OF DEEDS, we are improving the system to prevent more
errors and infringement of YOUR RIGHTS!!!!!
Scan this (and a cute little ???? is there) and get answers. Dang-it, I
don’t scan stuff. Or call this number xxxxxxx. (I don’t talk on the phone!!!!)
When I
finally get where I think I want to be,…..I AIN’T!!!
IMMA tell you,
driving nails and sawing lumber still makes sense and if I didn’t think this computer was necessary,
I would throw it away! LOL
BUT, but, It
sure is easier to type a letter. AND I
must admit, when I find I have made a mistake on a document, it sure is easier
to correct and reprint it. AND YES, I
even enjoy blogging, SOOOOO I will try to shut up and TRY to live with these
well meaning youngsters who make all these changes to MAKE LIFE BETTER for this
generation. HA!
I do relish
the thought that if time goes on one day these same geniuses will be in the
same boat I am in. ;-)
Odd note: Oh yeah, I have heard about personal data being
lifted from Old computers. So I did something lately. I burned an old laptop in
our fire pit. I was shocked, it took less than 2 minutes to burn. All that was
left was a skinny metal frame. Boy was I surprised that it even burned.

Wellllll......., tomorrow I will be as old as you, but until midnight tonight I'm still 85. I was gonna type something else but I forgot. I hope to see you guys before I become "Bud In The Mud" or before you become "Jack In The Box." Miss you two!!
We can't seem to get out of using computers at all anymore. I am the same way as you by the time I figure out what I'm doing, they change things all over again. Our recycling center here takes old computers and so I've never had to burn one. Hang in there Jack! We would miss you too much if you got rid of your computer,
Hey Jack, how'd you get this picture of Tom? (hee-hee)
We're right there with you, and yesterday's experience trying to pay the DISH bill on-line just underscored what Tom thinks of technology. (Said in venomous tone.)
Hang in there!
